The Star of Bethlehen.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 25.-Prof. John
M. Klein, the Kentucky astronomer, discov-
cred the Star of Bethlehem last night at z
o'clock. It's position is in the northwestern
heavens, closely skirting the horizon. It's
lustre is most intense. This is the same star
that guided the wise men Of the East to the
manger where the infant Saviour lay. Its
period is about 800 years and astronomers
have been on the lookout for il for several
years. Prof. Klein uses q smoked glass lens,
with mirror, which enables him to detect
comets and other heavenly bodies lowering
in proximity to the sun. A comet can by
the Klein method be seen in daylight.
Little is known about this star, except
that its appearance was first recorded about
the time of Christ's birth, and that il has
appeared five times since. It is said to be a
star of the first magnitude, and visible even
ct MONDAY. Its orbit has never been calcu-
lated.

KILLED BY A SPIDER.
A Negro Man Meets Horrible Death
at Chattanooga.
From the Chnttanoooo Times.


From the CHATTANOOGA Times.
In small frame house in Tradetown, in
the northeastern portion of the city, stout,
| powerful built negro man lay yesterday
morning praying for death. To have seen
him as he lay there, his body swelled to enor-
nous proportions and covered with white
splotches, writing in the agony of death,
one would have felt tempted to join the I'M
fortunate man in his appeal for death.
The man was John King, well-lxnown
colored man, who resides with his family
near Caroline street. About 10 o'clock
Tuesday night he returned home and pre-
pared TO retire. Being very warm he I'M
dressed himself and sat down on a back
porch to cool off. He was just in the act of
going indoors when he felt
A SINGING SENSATION
on his left hip. Thinking it was some in
sect he crushed it with his hand and upon
closer investigation found that the insect
was a small red spider
King thought nothing of the incident and
in less than a minute was in bed Before
the refreshing sleep which he had sought
came he began to feel queer pain in his
leg, but he was not alarmed. In a very
short time.he discovered that his leg was
swelling rapidly and he was suffering in
tensely. Local remedies were applied, but
they did not alleviate the pain and finally n
physician was sent for. When he arrived
King was found TO be in very dangerous
condition. The bite of the little spider had
Frustrated him and as the
POISON WAS ABSORBED,
the mans body swelled TO enormous size,
and was covered over with small white
splotches, which gave him a most peculiar
appearance. King fingered in the greatest
agony all day yesterday. and nothing but
his powerful constitution prolonged his life.
He is doomed, and no power can save him.
He was thoughtto be dying late last night.

the beers, frothy and foaming, were drunk

NONE WILL MISS THEE.

Few will miss thee, friend, when thou
For month in dust hast lain.
Skillful hand and anxious brow,
Tongues of wisdom, busy brain;
All thou vert shall be forgot,
And thy place shall know thee not.
Shadows from the bending trees
Ger thy lowly head may pass;
Signs from everv wandering breeze
stir the long, thick chuI ch-vard grass
Wilt thou heed them? No, thy sleep
Shall be dreamless, calm and deep.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble of thy tomb,
Soon TO fit on Joyous wing
From that place of death and gloom
On some bow TO warble clear
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
Some kind voice may sing thy paise,
Passing near thy place of rest
Fondly talk of other days,
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words of praise,
Or old thoughts of other days.
Since so feeting is thy name.
Talent, beauty, power and wit,
II were well that without shame
Thou in Gods great book were writ;
There in golden words to be
Craven for eternity.

THREE THOUGHTS.

come in, Sweet Thought, come in;
Why linger at the door?
Is il because "A shape of sin
Defiled the place before?
Twas but moment there;
] chased II soon away;
Behold, my breast Is clean and bare
Come in, Sweet Thought, and stay.
The Sweet Thought said me, No;
love not such room,
Where uncouth inmates come and go,
And back, unbidden, come.
] rather make my cell
From i'll resort secure,
Where love and lovely fancies dwell
In bosoms virgin-pure."
oh. Pure Thought, then ! said,
Come thou, and bring with thee
This dainty Sweetness, fancy-bred,
That fiouts my house and me.
No peevish pride hast thou,
Nor turnest glance of scorn
On aught the laws Of life allow
In man of woman born.
Said he, mo place for us
Is here and, be it known,
You dwell where ways are perilous
For them that walk alone;
There needs the surer road,
The efresher-sprinkled floor,
Else are we not for your abode
And turned him from my door.
Then. in my utmost need,
Oh. Holy Thought, cried,
Come thou, that cleanest will and deed,
And in my breast abide.

And ere the heart had heaved its sigh,

How but drop infuse
Within the turbid bowl
OF some elixir's virtuous Juice

My soul sat down content;

BUSINESS PROFITS.

In the Century Magazine for April Ed
ward Atkinson takes the trouble to prove
what every thinking man must have
known before, namely, that capital is not
at present securing an undue share of the
joint product of capital and labor. Had
it not been for labor organizations, how
ever, employers no doubt would be Sc
curing rather more than their share of
profits, because the temptation is always
great to reduce wages when there is no
prospect of any serious and combined
opposition. But in point of fact to-day
neither capital nor labor is receiving
much profit as rule, although
the latter has the best of it, and

The South.
Marshall Messenger.

Never in the history Of our sunny south
has such a tidal wave of prosperity swept
over it. 1t Is not confined to any peculiar
or restricted locality-to any particular
industrial enterprise, nor any special class
of citizens. The prosperity is universal
in every business in every part OF our fair
southland. 1t is q general awakening to
the vast resources and the grand posi-
bility that looms up before us. 1t is not
so much new south as the old south re-
neWing her youth and coming up with
giant strength to the work of developing
the ineXhaustible resources of our
fair land. It is the old south emerg-
ing from the wreck of war "beating
the sword into pillow shares and the spears
into pruning hooks" and grasping the
implements OF agriculture, industry and
the arts and winning grander victories
/ than ever graced the soldier on the field
of blood.
Il is the old south born again amid the
thrOe5 of an almost hopeless poverty into
life regenerated, purified and strenth-
ened amid fiery trials, with an invigor-
ated manhood, Determined to WIN great
er victories in peace than in war. 1t is
not northern blood but southern fire
aroused to the grand work of winning
and maintaining an honored supremacy
in the vast empire of industrial pursuits.
And this the south will accomplish in
the near future.

animates this city; and what the young
men of Fort Worth have done, the young

and should make its own leather.
The directors of the Fort Worth Iron
Works have instructed the architect to
advertise for bids to erect the buildings
at once. In previous issue of this paper
there was detailed account of this en-
terprise, but It's charter has been so
amended as to include the construction of
railroad cars of all kinds. Among the
stockholders and directors of the Fort
Worth Iron Works are Joseph II. Brown,
Colonel Morgan Jones, president of the
Fort Worth and Denver, Colonel W. NJ.
Harrison, W. A. Huffman, Judge Sam
Furman, J. Q. Sandidge, Hyde Jennings,
Captain B. B. Paddock, president of the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande, and w. F.
Lake. The works are now in operation
in temporary buildings, but when the
new buildings are up and the new and en-
larged machinery is in position, Fort
Worth will have a foundry enterprise
that will tell sensiblY on the fortunes of
the city.
Our people are now ready to confer
with any others who may have legiti-
mate manufacturing enterprise for which
favorable location is desired. This city
has unsurpassed distributing facilities,
health, and an abundant supply
OF water for all purposes. We invite
prospectors, investors, manufacturers
and home seekers to call and examine
our advantages before locating elsewhere.
And to every town in Texas THE GA
zETTE commends the example set by the
old and the young and by the rich and the
poor of Fort Worth. Pluck will win. 1t
has secured the railroads, and it has now
started out after the manufactures.
